About Me

Hi, My name's Linda (aka LindyLou) I'm married to my best friend Stephen ..... don't know what I'd do without him, and we have two fabulous kids, Chris who after completing 4 years at Sheffield Hallam University, is now the very proud landlord of his own public house here on the Isle of Man, and Lauren who's a wonderful Mum to our grandson Alex and she's also in the hospitality business. Is it any wonder we're a family who love food and drink!
I have a passion for papercrafting and cardmaking, which sometimes takes over my life! (and most of the house). Since moving to the Isle of Man in 2011, I now have the time to spend doing what I love.

A crafty review of 2016 ..... Part 2

Happy Friday folks .......

It's the end of the week, and very nearly the end of 2016! I'm so looking forward to the start of a new year.
There's already quite a bit on the cards for 2017 ..... we've already booked one holiday! I've got a craft retreat to look forward to towards the end of the year and plans are being made for a little crafty trip across to the UK for my favourite craft show at Port Sunlight. Oh ..... are we're going to be moving house (again!)

But we've still got the second half of 2016 to look back on. Yesterday we got as far as June so ..... grab a cuppa, this could take a while, and let's carry on where we left off, way back in ........

July

Hubby's birthday, our wedding anniversary. Challenges, blog hops and workshops along with all the usual stuff!

Even found time to play along with my favourite challenge ........ well it was one layer week

October ...... we had Lobsterfest on the island, and there was Halloween. I started planning my Christmas workshops, there were Stampin Up! parties and an exciting trip across to the UK. I was lucky enough to attend an Eileen Godwin Workshop .... whoo hoo!! (Still haven't completely finished my projects but .....we had a fabulous day, would recommend it to everyone!)
Autumn was definitely in the air ........

And Thank You ..... my fabulous Blog friends and family, for taking the time to visit. I really do appreciate each and every one of you ....... and I love receiving all your comments. Let's face it .... without you guys I'd just be talking to myself!

I'd like to wish you all a very Happy and Healthy New Year and I hope 2017 brings you everything you wish for and more. Let's make it a good one!

If you're out celebrating tomorrow, New Year's Eve, then have fun and stay safe.
I think we're off out to our favourite restaurant seeing as we're both feeling a little better. Then it'll be pop into The Prospect for a quick drink with Chris, on to Artisan to see Lauren ....... one of the drawbacks of being in the hospitality trade I suppose, working on New Years Eve, before coming home to see the New Year in with a special bottle of bubbly and the little man ..... who will hopefully be alseep!

Another fabulous review Linda, you are such an inspiration! I absolutely adore your white on Kraft work - it really is stunning and so wonderfully different to anything else I have seen - love it!! All the very best for 2017! Hugs, Anne xx

Your two-part year in review was such a treat, Linda! It took a lot of work putting this together, but it's truly a lovely photo diary for both us and you! (And, of course, I'm partial to your extraordinary June card!) Happy New Year to you and yours! Hugs, Darnell
